This design uses circular brackets to join the legs to the body, similar to the dog model I created a few weeks ago.
I started with a lion outline from Google images to use as a guide and then drew each part by hand.
You will need to use 4mm material to ensure that this model can be assembles correctly and all parts should fit together tightly without the need for glueing.
Be careful when attaching the legs as the back legs are larger and a different shape than the front.
